Summary
During an initial kitchen tour, surveyors observed more than ten dish crates stored directly on the floor next to and across from the dishwasher. Both the Dietary Manager and Kitchen Supervisor were present during these observations. When questioned, the Dietary Manager confirmed that dish crates should not be stored on the floor. These findings were based on direct observation and staff interviews, indicating a failure to adhere to infection control practices and procedures for proper storage of dish trays in the kitchen.
